BREAKING NEWS

The Nation of Earth now has a website. It's just one page for now, and I've had the page for months without adding content, but content is finally there: http://earthpatrol.googlepages.com/home

ONE HUNDRED STARS

In this post I will be presenting the case -- from my perspective -- for the North American Union. If you are offended at the very mention of such a thing, please bear with me and try to keep an open mind.

First of all, let me tell you that I am as opposed as anyone to any cryptocratic plan of merging Canada, Mexico, and the United States into a new and larger oligarchy. If they were allowed to form the union from the top down, present 'leaders' would be able to continue to trample upon the rights of the People. It would be yet another case of too few holding power over too many, and on a larger scale. No surprise that this idea would not be well-received.

If the union were to be formed from the bottom up, however, we would have the opportunity to, in effect, peaceably overthrow the national governments of all three countries -- emphasis on 'PEACEABLY'. The 99 States, Provinces, and Territories that comprise Canada, Mexico, and the United States could theoretically form a new government to replace the constitutional monarchy of Canada, the federal republic of Mexico, and the transparent oligarchy pretending to be a republic in between. This could be seen as a preemptive measure, taken to ensure the rights of the individual States, Provinces, and Territories and the rights of the People.

The title of this post refers to my idea for a flag for the North American Union (or my idea of what the NAU could be), which is a field of 100 white stars against a blue background. 10 Canadian Provinces, 3 Territories; 31 Mexican States; 50 United States, 5 Territories = 99. We'll throw an extra one in there in case I missed something...

HISTORY

Before the Mexican-American War, a large section of the current southwestern United States was part of Mexico. Disputes over the boundaries of the former Republic of Texas (itself once part of Mexico) started the war, during which some supported the idea of annexing the entire country. Mexico lost almost half of its territory to the United States. Just imagine how strong Mexico would be now, if it had retained its original borders... Or, imagine if all of Mexico had been annexed.

In 1849, the Montreal Annexation Manifesto was published by Canadians in support of breaking ties with Great Britain and joining the United States, but the movement lasted no longer than five years (though it has never completely died out). Once again, imagine.

Over the span of a decade in the middle of the 19th Century, these three countries could have become one. 150 years later, the possibility returns...

In 2005, the South American Community of Nations was formed. On April 16th of this year, its name was changed to "Union of South American Nations". Its population exceeds that of the USA by over 70 million.

These multinational unions have been popping up all over the world. Various agreements between the three major nations of North America can be considered to be precursors to a North American Union. Some say it's inevitable.

How much can we learn from the existing unions? Can we avoid the mistakes they've made? Is there a way for us to ensure a better future for all North Americans, by forming our own union? Do we dare leave it up to the heads of our current governments?

JUST MY OPINION

I say, before 'they' have a chance to put us all in a triple headlock, we should join hands between Nunavut and Chiapas, and from Guam to Newfoundland, to form a union not of our three countries, but of all our 99 States, Provinces, and Territories. This may be our one opportunity to throw the establishment out on its collective ear.

It may also be an opportunity to form a new kind of union, one with more localized representation within its supranational body. Further, it could lay the groundwork for truly representational government within a future Global Union.

Of course we do not want a Global Union, or even a North American Union, unless we can know that such a body will not contribute to the growing problem of political corruption. Quite the opposite -- what we want is to be forever free from the shadow of the "New World Order". To accomplish that, we may have to institute a new order of our own.

What Is and What Should Never Be

_____

Yes, I borrowed the title of this post from a Led Zeppelin song...

THE GOOD NEWS

The good news is that Chrysler plans to reveal three new concept vehicles at the Detroit show in January that indicate they have a clue as to the direction in which the automotive industry is inevitably headed. However only one of them is a pure electric; The other two are evidence that Chrysler still has a lot to learn.

I'm sure there's better news out there, and a lot of it...

THE BAD NEWS

Not all of this will be 'news' to all of you...

You may be aware, or may have suspected, that AIDS was engineered; You may or may not have understood WHY. Well, it seems that the powers that be have had a depopulation agenda for several decades, one that borders on being a plan for genocide. For some unfathomable reason, not only AIDS but orchestrated famine and localized warfare are being implemented to reduce a specific population, one race in particular.

Personally, I would be much less offended at a plan to reduce the GENERAL population -- which is not to say there isn't one, an unwholesome one at that. Targeting a specific race for 'reduction' is bigotry in its worst possible form.

Visit these pages and try not to get incensed:

http://www.jonesreport.com/articles/191107_merck_depopulation.html

http://www.schillerinstitute.org/food_for_peace/kiss_nssm_jb_1995.html

Learning of this brings new light to Katrina. If you ever wondered why things were handled they way they were in New Orleans after the storm, well, you know what skin color most of the victims had. Once again, if it doesn't make you sick enough that people's lives are given so little regard...

While we're on the subject of engineered weather, consider this season's cyclones. Southeast Asia has been hit hard with typhoon after typhoon, while we've seen a mild season over on this hemisphere. A climatologist may try to ponder the reasons for this (and may even come up with an 'explanation'), but someone who has accepted engineered weather as fact is left to wonder what the powers that be are up to...

Maybe they think that we in the 'West' need a break from this particular sort of 'natural' disaster, and maybe they also think that Southeast Asia is a 'good' place to continue depopulation efforts. Don't think for a moment that they'll stop using their equipment. They've got to mess with the weather somewhere, and it's bound to be bad for someone.

I can't convince you of the reality of weather control if you don't want to accept it, but please know that it wouldn't be so glaringly obvious to me if there weren't some logic behind it. Look up Project Storm Fury. Then ask yourself why such a program would be halted.

While it would make sense to anyone of sound mind to continue to develop weather control for the obvious benefits it could bring to Humankind, it makes perfect sense to the twisted minds of the power-hungry to deny its existence while developing it as a weapon. Throw in the idea of racially-skewed "population control" and maybe you'll recognize Katrina as having been a planned disaster -- and you'll understand why FEMA failed so miserably. They were meant to.

THE CHALLENGE

When I first thought of the Unified Settlement, I never imagined the depths to which the cryptocracy can sink. As the information trickles in, we find more and more evidence that 'they' are indeed 'out to get us'. The people (if we can call them that, soulless as they appear to be) who are ultimately in control of all those things which affect everyone else the most, do not seem to care one bit about their fellow Humans. I cannot imagine, for the life of me, how anyone can view their actions as being for the greater good.

The challenge before us is to remove these 'people' from power. We must take away their ability to control the weather. We must obliterate their influence over governments. We must keep them from influencing the media in any way or form. We must keep them from formulating and utilizing biological weapons of any kind. We must expose their secrets, especially those relating to technology that can be used to further the sustainable future of Humankind and our present habitat, Planet Earth.

We do NOT have a population problem. Regardless of how our number may grow over the coming decades and centuries, we will be able to find solutions and accommodate everyone. Population numbers are only a problem in the perception of those who wish to remain in control through deceptive manipulation.

Those behind the scenes are depriving us from a representative democracy, while attempting to fool us into believing one is in place. This cannot, and will not, stand. Either they will have to step things up and openly enslave us -- a situation from which we would be sure to revolt -- or they will have to succumb to the pressure of the People and become accountable.

Before the powers that be begin to think wide-scale martial law will be necessary (and don't think they haven't already planned for it, and thought it might be a handy way to help reduce the population) the People need to act -- and not in such a way as to provoke violence.

In order to be able to apply the proper amount of pressure, the People must be organized. It is not nearly enough for the many of us to be aware of what's going on, if we do not spread the word. Even if the majority of the population were aware, that in itself would not be enough. We need a (peaceful) plan of action, and we need to plan for several stages.

It is one thing to look at our situation and realize the only way to change it is by rallying millions to the cause, and it is another thing entirely to plan such a campaign. As much as I try to understand people, it's not my strong suit. However I have a few ideas...

GETTING STARTED

There was once a website up for the Unified Settlement, but the hosting for it dissolved before the name was changed to the Nation of Earth. I do have a free space provided by Google where I can create a Nation of Earth website, but I have yet to approach its development. Quite frankly, it's difficult to present the idea of this movement to those who have never heard of it -- but I'll try.

I feel we ought to recruit activist organizations, one by one, to become part of the Nation of Earth. There are a great many of them, all working in one way or another toward similar (and at times identical) goals -- imagine if they were all brought together, still doing what they have been, but as part of a larger movement...

At some point the movement will attract the attention and support of celebrities. Some of them will gladly spend time and money to produce video for the Nation of Earth. A feature-length DVD is not out of the question. You can see how well this could work to raise awareness -- but it's a ways down the line from where we are now.

As of this writing, there are perhaps two or three dozen people who have heard of the Nation of Earth, most of whom belong to small forums that I have initiated. My hope is that some of them will chime in, as they did in the early days of the Unified Settlement forum, with ideas and feedback.

Ideas and feedback are welcome from anyone reading this. I can't do this alone.

Alternative Government

Alternative Government

The word 'confederacy' is defined by Wiktionary simply as "an alliance", but of course it stirs up images of the War Between the States. If you describe the Nation of Earth as a Terran Confederation, expect people to compare it to the Wing Commander science fiction series...


We NEED a new confederacy.


Revisiting some of the things said back in the Unified Settlement era... This world's governments are out of control. They have gone beyond oligarchy, into outright cryptocracy. It would be of little use to try and fix our existing systems of government, since they are as puppets putting on a show -- while those who pull the strings from behind the scenes are the ones who profit.


What if people simply rejected their authority? Would that work? Sorry to say, individuals and entire groups can be persecuted for such 'disobedience'. We would need a considerable confederacy indeed to be able to face up to major governments.

So, what if people formed a global alliance? What if it grew to the point where almost everyone knew about its existence and what it stood for? What if they were so large in number, and so well-organized, that they could not be ignored?

What if their plan for an alternative system of government made so much sense that even some employees of existing governments gave up their posts and joined the call?


Could it just be possible, that existing world governments would be so overwhelmed by this movement that they would simply lay down their arms and hand over control, with no contest?

That is the dream. What we of the Nation of Earth are looking for, is a bloodless revolution.


Jim Cadle's Flag of Earth, the way I see it, should play a major role. Originated at the same time as the 'official' Earth Flag, it was first flown by Jim on May 17, 1970. Unlike the Earth Flag, the Flag of Earth uses colour & shape -- not a NASA photo -- to represent our planet. Flown at SETI sites around the world, it is a beautifully simple symbol for Earth and those who dwell upon her.

There is no better symbol for the Nation of Earth movement. I exchanged a few e-mails with Jim, before he passed, and know he would approve.


This post is a call to Humans everywhere who see our situation and want to change it. The Nation of Earth -- or whatever it may come to be called -- represents hope for the future of Humanity. Me? I imagined the movement, wrote a few things, and since have witnessed that it has already been happening and is likely to continue to happen with or without me. What I'm proposing here is that we get together and plan this thing out.

Eventually, a true rule by the People will be a reality, on a global basis. Question is, do we sit back and wait for it to happen, or do we actively work toward it?


There are many more questions. Keep asking them.

What NAU?

_____

What is scheduled for tomorrow?

I ask this question in two ways. Specifically, I want to know about Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Generally, I'm curious about what our cryptocracy has planned for the near future...

Tomorrow happens to be the 5th anniversary of the signing into law of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. It also happens to be the 45th anniversary of the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Does the date itself mean anything? Maybe not, but there's this thing going on in Oregon and elsewhere this week called 'Vigilant Shield'...

It has people worried. It looks to many as though this exercise, at the very least, is about preparedness for martial law. Some are even convinced that a 'dirty bomb' will be detonated in Portland. There is a general consensus that a war against Iran (and possibly Syria) is imminent.


Related to these concerns is the possible formation of a North American Union. Now, I'm all about unity, and on the surface I don't have a problem with becoming part of the NAU (though I'd bet Ameros to donuts that if I were Canadian, I would oppose it). The trouble with it is the question of how it will be run, and by whom.

With our Constitution already in tatters, how much worse can it get?


We certainly hope that by the time all the various multinational unions are merged into one Global Union, the People of Earth will have overcome the forces of cryptocracy. Or, perhaps that will happen shortly thereafter. I still believe in the vision of global freedom from oligarchy; Conversely, I still think we have a long and bumpy road ahead of us.

PS Will the GU flag be a combination of the 'Official Earth Flag' and the EU flag, with the appropriate number of stars? What do you suppose a NAU flag will look like? How long will it be before everyone flies Jim Cadle's Flag of Earth instead?

The Red, White, Blue, and Yellow Peril

_____

The subject of this blog post MAY or MAY NOT become an issue. Let's hope it doesn't, but just in case...


Someone's assertion has come to my attention, that the shadow governments of the United States and China have been working on a plan for war -- yes, against one another. The very idea of it may seem preposterous, but to me it passes the intuitive reasoning test for plausibility... Now bear with me while I extrapolate...


About this time next year, unless we can do something about it, this new war will begin (according to the assertion).

The American 'Civil' War turned out to be bad for the economy, but soon thereafter arms manufacturers saw great profit in military contracts. There would not have been so many Colt 'Peacemaker' revolvers made otherwise.

Follow the money. Maybe the 'Great War' (World War I) wasn't a great success, but WWII was just AWESOME for the American economy. Don't even ask me what Korea or Vietnam were about, but it's well-known how certain companies have been profiting from the Iraq war.

In the proposed war with China, well, maybe it will be good for manufacturers worldwide who step in to fill the gap -- Americans are used to having a lot of cheap crap to buy -- but there is another agenda this time around.

Population control is the issue. This planet can only sustain so many Humans, and even the Chinese recognize that there are too many Chinese. What better way to knock down the headcount than by going to war with the United States?

The logical solution to our population problem would be to colonize Space, but 'they' don't want to give up the secrets that would make such a thing possible. No. To the uncaring, unfeeling shadow government(s), war brings profit plus reduces the population, two birds with one stone.

I really feel for the Chinese if this war is allowed to begin. Despite their number, their opposition will have an extreme technological advantage. The plan may include strikes on American soil, but the loss-of-life ratio will be tremendously unbalanced...

IF

IF we the people allow 'them' to wage this war, no matter if it's the last order of an outgoing President, it'd be less than pointless -- in my opinion. War is bullshit. There is no reasonable motivation for us to go around killing each other. None at all.


"Whose assertion was it?" You may have asked this question already... He is identified only as 'Henry Deacon' (a pseudonym) on the Project Camelot website... Oh, and now you're asking about Project Camelot itself. They're all about disclosure there, and they've posted many interviews of very credible people saying incredible things.

Concerning what 'Deacon' had to say about 9/11:

"We are of course under no illusions about the importance of this. Five years after the event, Henry may be the first insider to come forward with confirmation that 9/11 was an inside job."

Go to the Camelot link above, then to interviews, and the 'Henry Deacon' transcript. Before that you might want to watch the interviews with Bob Dean and Marcia Schafer here. It is important that you know what Project Camelot does, and those interviews demonstrate it very well...

What did 'Henry Deacon' have to say about an upcoming war with China?

"I know that there’s a planned war between the US and China scheduled for late 2008. This is also geopolitical and not concerned with Black Ops as such. These were both just events that I got to hear about in passing. I have no detailed information about them.

"The Pentagon started the planning in 1998. You have to understand that China and the US are hand in glove with everything. This war is a joint op between the US and China. Most wars are set up that way and have been for a while."

This brief mention was enough to (pardon the expression) raise a red flag.

One can imagine that, within the next year or so, problems with trade between the United States and China could lead to an embargo. China would be understandably incensed, since the United States (of America, just to be clear -- Australia is also abbreviated USA) has become so heavily indebted to China through financial loans that China effectively owns the States.

The indebtedness, if we are to assume 'Henry Deacon' is correct, has been part of a long-term plan. If we buy into this scenario, we might guess that tainted goods supplied to 'America' by Chinese manufacturers (and China's lack of cooperation concerning inspection of production facilities) are the beginning of a campaign of distrust.

It doesn't matter where on Earth we're from. People are people, Humans are Humans. Really, it's perfectly normal if you feel for the people in China who slave away to produce a whole lot of crap that 'Americans' will consume without thinking. The majority of people everywhere are merely doing what they think they need to do -- and if we suddenly find that China and the USA are 'enemies', and that portions of both populations are suddenly committed to war, well, that will fall into the category of things that people think they need to do.

The war, if it is allowed to happen, will come as a slow surprise. Things will escalate, an announcement will be made, and BOOM.

It may be planned (and this seems likely, to me) that it will be China that declares war. It wouldn't make sense to Americans, after all, to get ourselves involved in yet another conflict without provocation (or at least I'd like to think so).

What most everyone will miss (once again, IF it is allowed to happen) is that the whole thing will have been orchestrated by the cryptocratic oligarchs (consult a dictionary if need be, or trust my definition of 'cryptocratic oligarchs' as 'those who rule in secret, for the benefit of the few').

Right now, if you haven't already, you might want to start checking labels for the phrase 'Made In China' before deciding on a purchase. This has nothing to do with the Chinese in general, of course -- they're just people. It has everything to do with whatever it is that the cryptocratic oligarchy has up their collective sleeve. I suspect that, just when we're starting to feel safe about Chinese goods again, there'll be some massive poisoning of a cross-section of 'Americans' from some imported item...


To those of you who are new to this blog: I am not a 'conspiracy theorist'. Sure, I may in this very post be theorizing about a possible conspiracy -- but I prefer the term 'conspiratologist'. I study conspiracy. From what I've seen, I would certainly not put it past the cryptocratic oligarchy to arrange a war between the "United States of America" and the "People's Republic of China".

This post is a WARNING.

It is also a call to grassroots activists everywhere, to look into the situation and -- if substantiation can be found -- raise public awareness, mount protests, et cetera.


Overpopulation is a serious issue -- I won't dispute that. Our beloved Earth cannot sustain our growing number for much longer. However we must not be treated like an infestation, or like a population of deer that are starving themselves in a habitat that we Humans have encroached upon. We have the resources to sustain a growing population, here on Earth for now and off-planet in the near future.

The problem is that those who currently run things have their priorities seriously skewed. They continue to demonstrate that they do NOT have Humanity's best interests in mind.


About five and a half years from now, those of us who will have survived will be living in a completely different world. We may, on the one hand, look back and realize that the number of lives lost do not necessarily correspond to the number of souls damaged. On the other hand, we may regret how much suffering was allowed to happen.

We have to ask ourselves: What kind of recent history do we want to represent us when it comes time to 'officially' enter 'Galactic Society'? Could we not have, can we not now, prevent certain atrocities?


Ah, but if it is China who declares war, how can anyone prevent 'America' from retaliating? Somehow we must stop this before the plan gets that far...


Think positive.

Technology Gets In the Way

_____

Six years is a long time. Then again, so is sixty-six...

Sixty-six years ago, there was something new in Hawaii. It was called 'radar'. Originally invented by Nikola Tesla and developed independently in various countries, it was brought over by the British. Radar had been giving early warnings in England for years...

Fast-forward to December 7th, 1941. Poorly trained radar operators -- just a few low-ranking enlisted men -- weren't sure what they were seeing. They phoned in their observation, but it wasn't taken seriously.

My question is: If a perceived threat is strong enough for a buildup of equipment and personnel at Pearl Harbor, why was the battle-proven radar system not given a higher priority?

The attack itself would've been enough to plunge the United States into World War Two. Better, though, if it could be a successful ambush -- more devastation, more outrage.

It has been established that the United States military had previously developed a scenario for a possible Japanese attack, and that the Japanese followed that scenario to the letter.

Coincidence? And what about the radar? Incompetence? Or were there orders to keep technology from spoiling a conspiracy?



Six decades later, and nine months after the pilot episode of a TV show called The Lone Gunmen featured a commercial airliner being flown into the World Trade Center... Well, we all know what happened.

Or do we?

Nikola Tesla also invented remote (radio) control (along with radio itself). We know that NASA and the FAA successfully flew (and crashed -- the crash was the point) a Boeing 720 by remote control in December of 1984: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Impact_Demonstration

It has been stated that, subsequently, all commercial aircraft were fitted with systems allowing remote takeover in the event of hijacking (or the effective disabling of all available pilots onboard). Even if that is not the case, 1984 technology made it possible to remotely control a large aircraft to slam into a precise target...


I've jumped to conclusions in the past, and repeated things I've read that struck me as true -- sometimes with regret, later on. I can't know what really happened. Theories abound. However, there are important questions we should all be asking...

1. In view of history, can we put it past 'them'?
2. Haven't the developments since 2001 been profitable for the few?
3. Aren't there huge flaws in the official story?

You know what? I'm sick of it. You know what else? I'm not done talking about it. As much as I wish we could all simply bow our heads in remembrance (as very few do anymore on December 7th) we have to keep raising a stink until all is revealed.

Here are some videos to share with those who still don't get it:

For that last one, you might want to spare yourself some grief and stop the video (or mute the sound) when the camera operator says of the helicopter, "not trying to land". Just after that, the first tower collapses and the screaming begins.


No matter how many times you see footage, the shock and horror of it won't go away.

Smalltalk Transmogrified

Ever notice how much people seem to like to talk about the weather? I mean, talking about current conditions right then, right there. For instance, as I write this it's cool outside but not abnormally so for the middle of the night in the middle of May, and we've had this dry spell -- I've only had to mow the lawn once so far this year...

I never mastered smalltalk, I guess because I don't understand the rules behind this provincial ritualistic custom and/or never picked up the habit, because I think it's pointless.

Now, if one person has seen or heard the forecast and another hasn't, talking about the weather can then become a useful exchange of information. On the other hand, I can do without that inevitable summertime question, "Hot enough for ya?"

Talking about current weather conditions is perfectly fine, however, when you're conversing with someone hundreds of miles away. You get a better sense of what it's like where that other person is, and that's (somewhat) interesting...


These days of course the weather has become more interesting (as in the ancient Chinese curse/blessing, "may you live in interesting times"). Everyone is talking about the freakish weather and global warming -- and debating about whether we are responsible.

My view on global warming is that it's something that simply happens every few thousand years, and though it may be inconvenient, there's little or no truth to the idea that human actions have triggered it this time around. I'll admit that we may be speeding it up a bit, but it's a cyclical thing. Plus, any day now we could have a massive volcanic eruption that darkens the skies and cools things down again. Who knows? My view is subject to revision...

Now, and to the real point of this post, my view on freakish weather:


By random chance, strange weather patterns pop up every now and then. Our atmosphere has always been in a state of controlled chaos, but you could look at the record for a particular area and pretty much know what to expect. Recently? Not so much.

Now we're back to talking about global warming. Everyone seems to think that global warming is at the root of our weather troubles, and the majority seem to think that we, as a species, are at fault. Whether it's a rookie mistake, or something we should've seen coming, global warming has become a hot topic (unavoidable pun). Some of us are scrambling to find a solution, while others are waiting and watching intently...

Meanwhile we live in a world of big government and big government secrets, where big ideas sometimes generate big checks written with the big invisible pen of Big Brother. Long ago there were smartypants types working on ways to make it rain here or stop the rain over there, for purely practical reasons. Government types picked up on this, realizing that the ability to control the weather could provide a tactical advantage in combat.

Thus, weather control becomes a military secret. No one is supposed to know about it. We wouldn't want our 'enemies' to expect and prepare for sudden harsh weather, now would we? Of course not. So, as with anything that can be used for a tactical advantage, our big government feels no remorse as it continues to write big checks for the big secret project, and the secret ability to control the weather gets developed further and further. Expense is not an issue, and disclosure is unthinkable.

There's really no telling how many secrets they keep from the public, or how big some of them may be.

Why is that a problem? It's a problem because the type of people who seek power are usually the exact kind of people we shouldn't trust. These are the people who ultimately get to hold the secrets, and who secretly hold the power to use secret technology in any way they choose.

These people own big corporations and make big back-room deals for big government contracts. If they can figure out ways to make big messes, they can make big money cleaning them up and/or Big Oil can use big disasters as excuses for big price increases, for big profit. Somehow, doing so doesn't make them feel small. They didn't get where they are by being compassionate.

So, it's no big deal for them to use the big weather machine to make big storms that make big news and cause a great big death toll. Over -- and over -- and over -- and over again, and they can get away with it.

And guess what? A big part of that big weather machine involves using big arrays of big antennae emitting large amounts of electromagnetic radiation to focus big heat on this or that specific target in our atmosphere (as you may know, temperature differentials are a big part of what creates weather patterns). Have they been using it often enough to contribute to global warming? That's a big maybe.

Another thing that may be contributing to global warming is the ever-increasing use of cellphones and other wireless technology, including radio and television. All of those things operate within the microwave frequency range -- and we all know what microwaves do. On that subject, it was discovered long ago that a powerful enough radio transmitter will adversely affect the weather. Can anyone say Dust Bowl? Now, what do you suppose our big secretive government did with that knowledge?

Can you say Katrina? Can you say 'Subtropical Storm' Andrea, freakishly popping up out of nowhere to fan the flames of a really big 'wildfire' instead of bringing rain?

Oh sure, we're supposed to believe those big transmitter arrays are used for purely scientific purposes. They had to have a big lie ready, because the arrays are too big to hide, even in big big Alaska. What's that, big government? You want to put big satellites in orbit without telling us what they're for? It's classified as a big secret? Sure, why not? What reason would we have not to trust you? And hey, if you're using them for weather 'experiments', you'll give us fair warning, right? And compensate anyone for any damages? Sure, okay...

Big media plays a big role in this big mess. They're under big pressure to help keep the big secrets from coming out and causing a big problem for the bigwigs. What should be big news gets swept under a big rug, and the public continues to be largely unaware.

We can change that. It's a big project, but we've got this great big electronic network at our fingertips, and we can reach a big number of people. Yes, it's a huge responsibility, but one that we must not shrink from.


WE MUST TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER.


If you think all this is one big paranoid delusion, well, that's certainly understandable -- but consider this: The most unthinkable acts are the ones that criminals are most likely to get away with. You don't even bother to ask, "How could anyone do such a thing?" Then, according to plan, the blame is laid elsewhere, or the whole thing is dismissed as an unsolvable mystery.

In the case of bad weather, we tend to think of it as an act of God, or Mother Nature, or Mother Earth. We do not tend to put these pieces together, that 1: Lack of compassion can lead to power and wealth; 2: Wars lead to military secrecy and secret weapons; 3: Greedy and unscrupulous people who leverage themselves into positions of power end up with control over those secret weapons, and 4: Whatever they want to do, they can, as long as the public doesn't find out about it.

These conspirators may be clever and cunning, and incredibly ruthless, but they are NOT smarter than everyone else. Quite a few of us can see that many of these recent disasters have been anything but natural...



Here's hoping that, as people inexorably continue to talk about the weather, more of us talk about weather engineering -- and how far the science has gone, and how it's being used. Let's hope people start asking the right questions.

A Saucerful of Secrets

If the title of this post sounds familiar, it's also the title of a song and an album released in 1968 by Pink Floyd. If you don't remember the lyrics, don't worry -- it's an instrumental.


In this space and elsewhere, I've written about how technology will inevitably change our society -- becoming a great equalizer as it nearly eliminates the need for human labour. The ability to manipulate matter at a subatomic level will revolutionize our lives and effect a major turning point in human history...


A review of how this will work:

With this technology, anything and everything can be brought into existence from an equal amount of base matter -- any refuse will do, so first of all we as a race will be able to clean up after ourselves. Another bit of technology we'll gain will be the long-sought-after 'free' energy, and so nothing, not even the energy we'll use, will cost anything at all.

How can that be? Everything -- even the matter manipulation machines themselves -- will be able to be brought into existence in this manner, and everything that uses power will be able to be effectively self-powered. The only limit to how much can be created is how much base matter can be supplied, to be dematerialized and rematerialized in a new form.

What does this mean? There will no longer be the need for any kind of monetary system. There will be no reason for this technology not to be shared universally, at least to the point of making sure everyone has what they require...

Of course this will be a major adjustment for everyone to make. There will be the temptation to create all sorts of useless things, just because we can. Some will want to create weapons to use against others, so we'll have to find a way to deal with that issue...


...and perhaps our propensity for homicide is the very reason we don't already have this technology.

Left to ourselves, we might have already developed the tech (some would argue that we've already developed 'free' energy, in a few different forms, and that it's being kept from the public). Maybe we have made strides toward it, and maybe "the powers that be" have hidden it away because it will end their reign. But maybe there are more advanced beings out there watching us, and maybe they are willing to share the technology, when and if we demonstrate our readiness.

If you think about 'aliens' and what kind of technology they must have, you quickly realize that it must go far beyond anything that would make interesting science fiction. Authors may indeed have thought of what I have outlined above, but found it difficult to write stories around. With everything so dramatically different, how would the reader relate? How can anyone even think of something to write about in such a scenario?

We don't have to believe we are not alone -- this technology does not necessarily have to depend upon 'aliens'. We'll reach that tipping point all on our own, eventually. However there is much to suggest that intelligent life must exist elsewhere, and once we accept that possibility we must also accept the further possibility (or indeed, the likelihood) that some are much more advanced. Even further, we can assume that some must be so advanced that they can defy the limitations that our own primitive science places on physics. Maybe we can't see how anyone could travel interstellar distances quickly enough to make it practicable, but maybe to those 'others' it's a walk in the park.

AND, maybe our development of nuclear fission put us on their watch list. That's a big milestone, for with just a few more developments we could become a nuisance -- and for that matter, with just that one, we've become a threat to our own existence.


Now, take a look around you. Do we, as a species, appear ready? Wouldn't our governments seize the technology and use it as they see fit, cloaked in secrecy? Have they already done so? How would we know?

We are currently too divided and too dependent upon the governmental systems (and other factors) that perpetuate that division. In general, we do not see ourselves as one people -- yet.

Maybe, with our ever-increasing connectivity and ever-increasing ecological awareness, we will indeed soon be able to collectively recognize how we're all in the same boat, and how important it is that we find a way to get along.

And maybe that's what it will take for us to be considered to be ready -- or ALMOST ready...


Theoretically, one 'alien' saucer would be sufficient to spawn the transformation. A single matter manipulation machine could begin the process, and before long they could be everywhere. Do you see how careful those more-advanced beings have to be? If we were to get our hands on that level of technology before we're ready, we could cause a catastrophic amount of trouble.

Remember, along with the ability to materialize things comes the ability to DE-materialize them. That, right there, is potentially the most formidable weapon imaginable.

the war on war

__

Ever on the front lines of this struggle, Tina has sent out a link to video
footage showing that BBC reported the collapse of Building 7 of the World
Trade Center -- this is significant -- 23 minutes before it actually
occurred. Many thanks, Tina.

Here is the link: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=49f_1172526096

As painful as it may be to watch news footage from September 11 2001, we owe
it to those who were taken from us that day -- indeed, we owe it to Humanity
-- to never allow ourselves to forget.

Which is not to say that we should hold a grudge against those who were
blamed for the events of that day, but that somehow we must bring
accountability to those who were actually responsible. The facts simply
don't add up. You don't have to subscribe to every theory of conspiracy
surrounding those events to doubt the official story.

At the time, most of us were too shocked to know what to think, and there is
certainly a tendency for people to believe the news as presented. Now, over
5 years later, there has been so much uncovered that we can only conclude
that the masses aren't in an uproar because the truth is simply too horrible
to think of.

Who could believe that government officials would plan and execute a staged
attack on their own country? Such an act is so EVIL that hardly anyone can
accept that it happened. They would rather fall in line and lay the blame
where they are told to. They would rather send their children out in harm's
way in an unjust war -- a war in which certain corporations have been
profiting immensely from government contracts.

This is the world we live in -- a world where monsters dwell, pulling the
strings from behind the scenes, thriving on human suffering. This is a
world where people swallow the lies of those monsters because the truth, if
they ever got a chance to taste it, would make them puke.

Reality, as always, is subjective. No matter how low Bush's approval rating
gets, if it's not 0% we know that there are those among us who are seriously
deluded. Every time I go out in traffic I still see at least one W'04 or
Bush/Cheney sticker on the back of a vehicle. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE
PEOPLE?!? Maybe they're just stupid, or maybe they've lived their entire
lives having their reality spoon-fed to them. Either way, it seems they are
incapable of thinking for themselves.

Various cultures have had legitimate reasons to wage war in the past, but
that's just a part of Humanity's evolutionary history. It has been said
that there can be no evolution without REvolution, and it appears we are on
the brink of a revolution wherein people demand an end to war. At this
stage, war can serve no legitimate purpose.

Yet, we still live in a world where a relative few hold ultimate power over
the many -- and those relative few didn't get where they are by being nice
guys with everyone's best interests at heart. We still live in a world
where the majority are clueless as to what's really going on.

How can we change this?

One way or another, people are going to have to be exposed to the truth --
but even then, that's not enough. If our governments are not to be trusted,
they'll have to be replaced -- but with what? Someone has to formulate a
system that will guarantee that cryptocracy can never rear its ugly head
again, ever, anywhere.

Either this revolution occurs, or we as a species doom ourselves to
struggling for survival, let alone sustainability.

The Sleeping Giant

Not much has been written lately on the Nation of Earth, but it hasn't been forgotten, hasn't gone away. It's just that there isn't anything new to report.

You might say we reached the end of a long road of discovery and are now waiting for a bus at the crossing. The concept having been refined, the vision clarified, it seems there is nothing left to do but wait...

But wait! Aren't there things to do? Yes, probably dozens, but not by me, not at the moment. As an admitted slacker who slipped into activism, I certainly fit the description of 'slacktivist'. I'll also admit to being an underachiever, setting projects aside for later, leaving many of them unfinished -- but rest assured, the Nation of Earth is still a work in progress.

The thing is, I can't think of anything else to do at this point that doesn't involve money, which is something slackers and underachievers rarely have much of. One could be kind and say that I'm merely ahead of my time -- money won't ALWAYS be what makes the world go round -- or one could label me an idealist, which could have a positive or a negative connotation, depending.

One may certainly wonder why I don't try to either raise or earn money for my cause, and to that issue I must repeat: Money should have become obsolete by now. Plus, I never felt comfortable asking for it, and working for someone else in exchange for it seems counterintuitive. It's not that I feel I'm above employment, or that it's beneath me in any way -- it's just that it doesn't FIT.

So to my mind, if the Nation of Earth is to be an organization with any funding at all, it will never come from solicited donations. Nor would I like to get any kind of business loan to manufacture such things as flags and T-shirts. However, from a practical standpoint it does appear that a certain amount of money is needed if we expect this movement to be given a name, if we expect people to become familiar with the Flag of Earth -- a flag that carries a meaning all its own, a symbol powerful enough to help unite the people of this world with or without added context.

Launching a non-profit organization (possibly called Earth Patrol) funded by sales of flag-related merchandise is the next logical step. Obviously this will require startup capital, which I don't have and won't ask for, and so the future of my involvement in this movement hangs in the balance.

The Nation of Earth, if I have anything to do with it, will not ask for nor expect money from anyone. All it asks for is time and consideration. If anyone wants to donate anything, please let it be kindness to your fellow humans, respect for the planet, and mindfulness of a future of sustainability -- along with time spent discussing these things with others. There is a need for many changes here on Earth, not the least of which are changes in attitude and outlook.

These changes will come in time, but the process has to start somewhere, and we can all choose a level of involvement. Maybe we can speed things along, or at least ease the transition.

Maybe, just maybe, we can shape our own future...
